This manual is the official guide and informational resource for planning and preparing a
location for the installation of the following PET/CT systems. The responsibility of arranging and
paying for all work associated with site planning, site preparation, and system installation rests
solely with the buyer/purchaser of the system.
• Optima™ PET/CT 560

• Optima™ PET/CT 560 FX

• Discovery™ PET/CT 610

• Discovery™ PET/CT 710

This manual guides you through the pre-installation siting and regulatory requirements. Keep in
mind, this manual cannot address or answer each and every site specific question or concern.
Contact your GE Healthcare Project Manager (PM) for answers to any additional questions or
concerns not addressed in this manual. Prior to any construction or approval, General Electric
Headquarters Architectural Planning must review all PET/CT preliminary concepts, site plans,
and final working drawings associated with the installation of the system. Contact your GE PM
or complete information regarding your site-specific room layout.
1.2 Responsibility of the Customer
It is the responsibility of the customer (buyer/purchaser) to prepare the site in accordance with
all the specifications provided in this manual and in conjunction with site-specific drawings and
applicable regulations. It is essential to verify all aspects of the site configuration before
construction has begun, as subsequent changes can be costly or impractical. A detailed pre-
installation checklist is provided in this manual. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure
all requirements on the checklist are fulfilled and that the site conforms to all specifications and
requirements detailed in this manual.
Pre-Installation requirements shall include the procurement and installation of all required
materials and services necessary to prepare the room to be ready for installation of the PET/CT
system. The customer is responsible for all aspects of site preparation, including:
• Assigning a project coordinator.

• Planning and construction requirements for the installation of the PET/CT system in
accordance with all national, state, or local regulatory requirements for the country in which
the installation occurs, for example:

4.3 System Lifting and Rigging Restrictions
Lift-Gate and Rollback Truck Deliveries
Delivery to a facility without a loading dock can generally be serviced by a lift-gate or rollback
truck. A lift-gate delivery truck requires a lift gate rated for a 3-ton capacity.
If a rollback delivery truck is used, a GE representative shall personally supervise the delivery of
the PET/CT scanner to ensure the system is safely delivered without damage. To avoid
damaging the gantry, the representative shall direct the driver to attach strapping to the lowest
point (not the wheels) of each dolly. When the gantry is lowered from the back of the delivery
truck, it shall be lowered at the slowest reasonable rate without jerking the gantry. Otherwise,
serious damage to the gantry could occur.
4.4 Shipping and Receiving
4.4.1 Handling Restrictions
• Forklift Restrictions: Never lift the gantry using a forklift under the gantry frame.

• Shock Restrictions: The system cannot tolerate shock or vibration. System components
cannot be tipped, dropped, or hoisted. The PM shall communicate these restrictions to
everyone involved with handling the system components.

• Rolling on Surfaces: System components shall be rolled across smooth surfaces


(sidewalks, parking lots, etc.) only. If a smooth surface is not available, then floor protection
should be used to move the system.

• Shipping Crate/Packaging Integrity: Do not damage or puncture the shipping crate or


packaging.

Floor Protection
To protect the floor during delivery, floor protection shall be used along the entire delivery path
and throughout the scan suite, where necessary.
4.4.2 Dollies
• U.S. Installations – Shipments within the United States typically involve the use of dollies for
moving the gantry and table. After completing the installation, return all dollies and the
gantry shipping cage to GE using the shipping document found in Box #1.

• Zero Clearance Dollies (Mini) (For CT Gantrys only) – Deliveries involving small elevators
with a depth of at least 2692 mm (106 in.) require zero clearance dollies. Zero clearance
dollies allow movement of the gantry in tight areas; avoid using them for normal dock or van
deliveries. To order zero clearance dollies, go to: http://www.umi-dollyshop.com.

• Tilting Dollies (for Patient Table) – Deliveries involving small elevators with a depth of at
least 2438 mm (96 in.) require tilting dollies. If storing the patient table prior to installation,
do not order tilting dollies as there is a limited number of dollies available. If you are unable
to obtain tilting dollies, substitute riggers in place of the dollies to deliver the table. To order
tilting dollies for the patient table, go to: http://www.umi-dollyshop.com.

• Installations Outside U.S. – For shipments outside the United States, customers may
purchase dollies at: http://www.umi-dollyshop.com. DO NOT return dollies or the gantry
shipping cage to the U.S. Instead, forward dollies and cage to the local GE office or
warehouse.
4.4.3 Delivery Temperature and Humidity Tolerance

NOTICE
Failure to adhere to temperature requirements during delivery and storage will
likely result in equipment damage.

Avoid extreme temperatures during system transportation and delivery.


When transporting the system, all packing material shall remain intact. Prevent extended
exposure of the system (maximum two weeks) to temperatures or humidity outside of the
following specifications:
• Temperature: -40º to +50º C (-40º to +122º F), inclusive

• Humidity: 5% to 95%, inclusive

After delivery to the scan suite and before unpacking any system components, allow 12 hours
for the equipment to adjust to room temperature.
4.4.4 Unpacking System
Do not remove any protective wrapper or packaging from any system component until all
construction is complete and all construction dust is removed from the installation site.
Retain the packaging surrounding the scanner desktop and UPS.

3.1 Clearances
3.1.1 Operational Clearances
Review operational clearances to verify daily use items will properly fit (beds, carts, wheelchairs,
etc.).
3.1.2 Emergency Medical Equipment Clearances
Consider clearances for emergency medical equipment.
3.1.3 Replacement Parts and Service Equipment Space
Prior to the installation of the system, verify there will be adequate space in the scan room to
receive and install all replacement parts and provide room for all service equipment that will be
used during the installation.
3.1.4 Ceiling Height Requirements
The minimum ceiling height above the table and gantry shall measure at least 2286.0 mm (90.0
in.), or the minimum distance allowed by local laws and codes, whichever is greater, when
measured from the floor to the finished ceiling.
3.2 Workplace Requirements
3.2.1 U.S. Code Requirements
The required service space, as noted in Illustration 2-18 and Illustration 2-19, has several
conditions defined by the (U.S.) National Electrical Code (NEC). These conditions are defined
by the wall type and accessibility/exposure to: electrical power panels, electrical outlets, surface
mounted conduits, plumbing, hospital gases, or surface ground points directly opposite exposed
CT equipment.
Work space clearances apply to equipment operating at 600V or less, where examination,
adjustment, servicing, and maintenance is likely to occur with live parts exposed. System
servicing requires a space for one service engineer to accomplish all system component
replacement tasks without the need of special tools or equipment.
There shall be sufficient working space in the scan room to allow adequate egress during
service operations that require both front and rear cover removal. If the customer and PM have
any concern that the site will not provide adequate work space for egress under these
conditions, the necessary provisions should be made to accommodate this event.
The customer shall maintain the required regulatory clearance distances and not use these
areas for storage. This applies during normal system operation and during service inspection
and routine maintenance.
This work space is defined where the cover has been removed in an area where service is
performed, with power applied to the system. The conditions of this space are as follows:
Service Space: Also defined as Working Space by: IEC/NFPA 70e (Table 110.26) 2011 Edition.
GE Healthcare also requires the following minimum work space requirements for the safe
servicing of the product:

3.2.2 Cover Removal Clearance


System servicing requires sufficient space to remove all covers from the system.
3.3 Cover Clearance Requirements
3.3.1 Gantry Front Cover – Removal Clearance
Front cover removal requires a minimum clearance space of 3010 mm (118.5 in.). The cover is
removed using a pair of dollies that allow the service engineer to remove the cover from the
gantry, tilt the cover 90° to roll it to the foot end of the table, and then tilt the cover an additional
90° so it is upsidedown, relative to its normal installation position. Minimum service clearances
are a regulatory requirement.
3.3.2 Gantry Front Cover – Service Clearance
Once the front cover of the gantry is removed, the service engineer shall have the ability to
reposition the cover to an area that satisfies the minimum regulatory service clearance. The
cover cannot be placed in an area where it will encroach on the minimum service area.
3.3.3 Gantry Rear Cover – Removal Clearance
Rear cover removal requires the use of tilting cover dollies with a minimum clearance width of
2388 mm (94 in.) and a depth of 584 mm (23 in.). Minimum service clearance space allows the
service engineer to move the cover either straight back or off to one side of the table. The rear
cover and dollies cannot extend into the service clearance space, even if the system is
positioned diagonally. Minimum service clearances are a regulatory requirement.

Chapter 3 Special Construction Requirements


1 Radiation Protection
1.1 X-Ray Radiation Protection
1.1.1 Shielding Requirements
A qualified radiological health physicist shall verify the scan room radiation barrier is properly
designed and installed, taking into consideration:
• Scatter radiation levels within the scanning room (see Illustration 3-1 to Illustration 3-4).

• Equipment placement

• Weekly projected workloads (# patient/day technique (kvp*ma))

• Materials used for construction of walls, floors, ceiling, doors, and windows

• Access to surrounding scan room areas

• Equipment in surrounding scan room areas (such as film developer, film storage)

• For small and medium filter survey, the 20 cm water phantom should be placed on the
phantom headholder inserted into the end of the patient table.

The four scatter surveys depict measured radiation levels within the scanning room at the
indicated distances, while scanning a 16cm CTDI phantom for the Head Scan mode and 32cm
CTDI phantom for the Body Scan Mode. The mAs, kV and aperture scaling factors are provided
in Table 3-1 and they can be utilized to adjust the exposure levels to the typical usage at the
site.
For example: The exposure level for a 120kV, 800 mA, 1sec scan at 50" (127 cm) away from
the scan plane is: 10.4 μGy (from Illustration 3-4) × 0.71 (from Table 3-1) × 800/100 (from Table
3-1) = 59.1 μGy.
NOTE: Actual measurements can vary. Expected deviation equals ±15%, except for the 5mA
and 1.25mm techniques, where variation may be greater (up to a factor of 2), due to
the inherent deviation in small values. The maximum deviation anticipated for tube
output equals ±40%. Isocurves already include the deviation margins.

A number of radioactive substances, of various levels of stability are used by the PET unit of the
PET/CT system. This material is necessary in imaging procedures. Before the suite is

Direction 5433542-1EN, Revision 5

operational, unstable material may be on the premises. It is very important to recognize that
clear and significant hazards from ionizing radiation may exist at the site, as it is undergoing
preparation. Other equipment may be in place and operational at this time. This may include
such equipment as X-ray systems and CT scanners (other than the CT Gantry within the
PET/CT system). Calibration source may be on the site at some time during the preparation
process, as well as after the PET imager has been put into operation. A cyclotron may be
operational at the site. Definite steps should be taken to ensure the safety of workers, patients,
and visitors, during all phases of the construction, installation and operation of the facility.
NOTE: By the time the site is ready to have radioactive material brought in, the licensing
process must be complete. The site must be properly licensed before receiving
radioactive material.
1.2.1 Protection of Equipment
It is important that background radiation be kept to a minimum. The coincidence detection used
in a PET system allows a moderate amount of external singles events. The PET/CT system has
been found to have less than 1% deadtime if the external field is below 1 mR/hr from a single
source. Because area background can be more general than a single source, a lower limit is
appropriate. If the area dose rate is maintained to less than 0.2 mR/hr (due to 511 or lower
energy gamma rays) at the covers, detector deadtime should not exceed 1%.
Radioactive sources must be stored in approved shielded containers. It is recommended that
any radioactive source not specifically designed to be housed in the gantry’s lead storage
container be stored in a separate room (hot lab) adjacent to, and accessible from, the Scan
Room. This hot lab should be near the cyclotron (if used). Doses should be prepared in the
same area.
Consideration should be given to the placement of the gantry in relation to existing X-ray,
Magnetic Resonance, or Nuclear diagnostic equipment. Magnetic interference above 1.0 gauss,
at the surface of PET components, can adversely affect the image quality. Good shielding
techniques must be implemented in order to avoid this type of interference.
Some procedures involve the use of radioactive water. This will result in the patient exhaling
radioactive carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide must be contained in order to avoid adversely
affecting the image quality. Some PET procedures require the use of radioactive gases. This too
can result in compromising image quality if not properly controlled.
1.2.2 Protection of Personnel
The escape of radioactive gases, if not properly confined, can cause unnecessary exposure to
clinical staff. All sources must be properly stored in appropriate enclosures to provide adequate
protection to all in the suite.
1.2.3 Barriers, Partitions and Shielding
Appropriate barriers such as walls, lead-shielded glass, lead shields etc. must be installed to
protect staff from unnecessary exposure to radiation. A qualified radiological health physicist
must be consulted in the design of walls and safety barriers to assure proper attenuation.
Keep in mind that patients become significant sources of radioactivity. Consideration should be
given to maximize the distance between the patient and operator during the uptake and
acquisition phases of scan procedures.

Direction 5433542-1EN, Revision 5

1.2.4 External Sources of Radiation


A number of common radio nuclides are used in the PET/CT system. These radio nuclides are
either produced at the site or brought to the site from an outside source. In either case, these
nuclides have relatively short half-life (2 min. to 110 min.) and as such decay to benign levels
fairly quickly. Typical positron emitting isotopes include: Carbon-11, Nitrogen-13, Oxygen-15,
and Fluorine-18.
1.2.5 Dose Rate from Radioactive Pin Source
The PET/CT system uses one radioactive pin source during calibration and the Daily QA Check.
During normal operation, the source pin remains in storage in a shielded container inside the
PET trailer. The system automatically withdraws the source from its container before each use,
and is automatically returned to the container after each use.
The dose rates described in this document are estimates, based on measurements taken under
specific measurement conditions, described in detail for each measurement. Since the
measurement conditions vary at every scanner installation (due to differing room geometries,
the presence of other equipment or shielding material, etc.), use these measurements as
guidelines only.
PET images are generated by measuring radiation resulting from electron positron annihilation
events within the patient. No external radiation source is required to generate this data. The pin
radiation source is never used during a patient scan.
The system uses the source pin to:
• Calibrate the scanner’s detectors and electronics.

• Assess the relative performance of the scanner’s detector channels, so differences in


individual detector efficiency can be accommodated during reconstruction.

The PET scanner uses a radioactive source pin that contains Ge68, an isotope with a half-life of
270.8 days. The radioactive source pin is referred to as “low activity pin.” The pin has an initial
activity level of 10MBq (0.27mCi) ± 20% for Optima 560 and Discovery 610, and 18.5MBq
(0.5mCi) ± 20% for Optima 560 FX, and Discovery 710.
Refer to Illustration 3-5. During normal system operation, the radioactive source pin resides in a
storage container, located inside the PET Trailer, at the rear of the PET/CT gantry.

Chapter 3 Special Construction Requirements 71

Direction 5433542-1EN, Revision 5

When the pin is in use, it is located inside the gantry near the wall of the patient port. Depending
on the task the pin is performing, it may be held in a fixed location or rotated around the
circumference of the patient port at a speed of up to 20 revolutions per minute (one revolution
per three seconds). The pin is transferred from the storage container to its position near the
patient port, and returned to the storage container after use, by a mechanical system under
software control. Radiation indicators are displayed on both the gantry control panels and the
operator’s keypad when the pin source leaves the storage container.
1.2.5.1 Dose Rates with Pin Source Stored
When the radioactive source pin is stored in the lead container, and no other sources are
present in the scanner room, the maximum dose rates on the PET/CT system are directly over
the source loader. The PET/CT system uses one pin with an initial activity level of 10MBq
(0.27mCi) ± 20% or less for Optima 560 and Discovery 610, and 18.5MBq (0.5mCi) ± 20% for
Optima 560 FX, and Discovery 710. The exposure rate at the cover is specified to equal 2mR/hr
or less.
1.2.5.2 Dose Rates with Pin Source in Use
The dose rates were measured in the following conditions:
• Pin source rotating around the patient port.

• Patient table lowered to its lower limit (55 cm above the floor).

• All measurements were taken at a height equal the center of the patient port.

The results of these experiments, measured along the central axis of the scanner, are
summarized in Table 3-2. (Distances are measured from the front-most imaging slice; positive
distance is in the direction towards the scanner table.)

The PET Alignment (VQC) phantom is used during the Check Image Alignment procedure. This
special phantom contains spheres (commonly referred to as “marbles”). The five (5) small
spheres embedded in the phantom are a source of very low radiation (0.7 MBq Germanium-68
per sphere; total 3.5 MBq for p/n 5308767 phantom). The average life of the phantom is 2.5 to
4.0 years. Individuals using this phantom must be trained to handle radioactive materials as well
as maintain proper source handling procedures while handling the phantom. This may include
local site-specific procedures for the safe handling of radioactive material.

2 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Consideration


2.1 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) System Placement
If you know of, or suspect, the presence of excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI),
consult your GE Healthcare PM or GE Sales and Service for recommendations to reduce EMI
fields. Consider the following to reduce EMI:
• EMI field strength decreases rapidly with distance from the source of the electromagnetic
field.

• EMI from a three-phase transformer is much less than a bank of three single-phase
transformers of equivalent power.

• Large electric motors are a substantial source of EMI.

• High-powered radio signals are a source of EMI.

• Maintain good shielding of cables and electronic cabinets.

• Consider and measure EMI where the facility power is running near the scan room.

• Pay attention to power substations and high-voltage power lines near the scan facility.

• If you have any concerns, measure for all EMI to confirm the site meets all required
specifications.

2.1.1 EMI – Gantry


The gantry shall be located in an area where the ambient static magnetic field is less than 10E-4
tesla (1000 milligauss) and the ambient AC magnetic field is less than 10E-6 tesla (10
milligauss); otherwise, EMI will affect the image quality of the scanner.
2.1.2 EMI – PDU
The gantry or patient table shall not be placed within 0.3 meters (12 in.) of the power distribution
unit.
Sensitive electronics shall not be placed within 1.0 m (39 in.) of the power distribution unit.
2.1.3 EMI – Scanner Desktop/Computer Equipment
The scanner desktop and its associated computer equipment shall be located in an area where
the ambient static magnetic field is less than than 10E-3 tesla (10,000 milligauss).

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the separation distance can
be estimated using the equation in the corresponding column, where power (P) is the maximum
output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE: At 80 MHz to 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range
applies.
NOTE: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
As an example, keep a 1 W mobile phone (800 MHz to 2.5 GHz carrier frequency) at
least 2.3 m from the PET/CT system (to avoid image interference risks).
Limitations Management:
Adhering to the distance separation recommended in (150 KHz to 2.5 GHz) reduces
disturbances recorded at the image level, but may not eliminate all disturbances. However,
when installed and operated as specified, the system maintains its essential performance by
continuing to acquire, display, and store diagnostic quality images safely.
2.1.6 Cable Shielding and Grounding
All interconnect cables to peripheral devices must be shielded and properly grounded, except
when technologically prohibited. Use of cables not properly shielded and grounded may result in
the equipment causing radio frequency interference.
GE Healthcare is not responsible for any interference caused by using other than recommended
interconnect cables or panels, or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users' authority to operate the equipment.
2.2 Electromagnetic Emission

The information in Table 5-4, Table 5-5, and Table 5-6 (above) assumes the use of copper wire,
rated 75° C and run in steel conduit. All ampacity is determined in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Table 310-16 (2002). The ampacity of the circuit protection device
listed above determines the minimum feeder size, except where total source regulation limits
require a larger size.
NOTE: Power feeders running under the scan room floor, as well as power vault substations
under the floor, above the scan suite, or in adjacent rooms, may cause excessive EMI
fields. The responsibility for meeting all site EMI requirements rests with the customer.

2 Grounding
The design of the scanner uses an equal potential grounding system. Illustration 5-2 and Table
5-7 detail the required ground system. Three primary grounding points exist, they include:
• A system power ground point located in the PDU.

• A reference ground point located between the gantry and the table base.

• A patient ground point located at the front of the table base.

The electrical contractor shall ground ALL patient-accessible metal surfaces to the same
potential as the A1 Disconnect. The electrical contractor shall bond the ground wire to any
intermediate distribution panel the ground wire passes through, in accordance with all local
codes.
